5 North Drive: detached house for sale
$2,699,900
From the listing brokerage
You've designed this house in your head a hundred times. Someone finally finished it for you. Rebuilt from the studs in 2026, 5 North Drive is a true studs-up renovation: new walls, wiring, plumbing, windows, and mechanicals, engineered and permitted to be lived for decades. It sits on a quiet Hunt Club street in Birchcliff, minutes from the lake. Engineered hardwood runs through the main and second floors, and Black Beauty trim carries you from the dining room to the custom Foson kitchen: dark flat-slab cabinetry, fluted glass, warm vertical grain, and warm quartz waterfalling off the peninsula, with a coffee bar, double wall oven, five-burner gas cooktop, and workstation sink. The living room gathers around a gas fireplace and floor-to-ceiling sliders opening to the deck, patio, and deep backyard. The main floor is completed with a walk-in foyer closet, separate pantry, and mudroom off the attached garage. Smart-home comforts are built in throughout, from climate control to a smart toilet in the primary ensuite. Upstairs holds four true bedrooms and two full baths, led by a primary suite with built-in closets and a five-piece ensuite: freestanding tub, separate shower, and double vanity. Second-floor laundry with quartz counters, plus a dedicated second furnace and AC so the upstairs holds its own climate. The lower level is a complete legal two-bedroom apartment with separate entrance, high ceilings, heated floors, full kitchen, and large rec room: in-law suite, nanny quarters, or rental income. The 40 x 125 foot lot invites garden suite or pool potential under current bylaws (buyer to verify). Steps away, Blantyre Park is building a brand-new park and outdoor pool. Walk to Kingston Road Village in minutes, down Fallingbrook to the water, with Queen St E and the boardwalk within reach, and the Danforth GO reaching Union in about ten minutes. Birchcliff has quietly become one of the East End's most sought-after addresses, and this is the house that shows why.

What it costs to buy 5 North Drive
At the asking price of $2,699,900, a buyer pays two land transfer taxes on closing: the Ontario tax and the City of Toronto's municipal tax. Both apply to every home inside the City.
| Asking price | $2,699,900 |
|---|---|
| Ontario land transfer tax | $53,973 |
| Toronto municipal land transfer tax | $53,973 |
| Both taxes | $107,946 |
| First-time buyer relief, if you qualify | up to $8,475 |
| Minimum down payment | $539,980 |
The down payment figure is the federal minimum: 20 percent, because a home at $1.5 million or more cannot carry mortgage default insurance. A lender can ask for more. These figures use the asking price, so they change if you pay more or less. The rates above $2,000,000 used here are the ones for a home with one or two single family residences. A property with more units is taxed differently. Legal fees, title insurance and adjustments are extra: ask your lawyer for a written quote. This is general information, not legal or tax advice. Confirm the figures with a lawyer or accountant. You can change the price in our land transfer tax calculator and our mortgage calculator.
What it costs to own each month
| Property tax (2026) | $5,972 a year, about $498 a month |
|---|
That is before a mortgage payment, home insurance and utilities. The listing shows no monthly maintenance fee, so upkeep of the building and the lot is the owner's own cost.
How the asking price compares
TRREB recorded 550 detached house sales in the City of Toronto in August 2026, at a median price of $1,170,000 and an average of $1,525,749. This home is listed at $2,699,900, which is $1,529,900 above that median.
The median covers every neighbourhood, size and condition in the City of Toronto, so it is a reference point and not a valuation of this home. Location, size, lot, parking and condition all move the price. Our Toronto house prices page has the figures for every home type.
What to check before you make an offer
- Book a home inspection. An inspector looks at the roof, foundation, wiring, plumbing and heating. The listing gives the heating as forced air.
- Have a lawyer search the title. A title search shows mortgages, liens and easements registered against the property. Ask whether a survey exists and whether it matches the lot on the listing, 40 by 125 feet.
- Ask about permits. Ask which renovations had building permits and whether those permits were closed. The listing shows 2 kitchens. If there is a second unit, ask whether it meets the municipality's rules for one.
- Confirm what is included. Appliances, light fixtures and window coverings are included only if the agreement says so. Ask whether the water heater or furnace is rented.
- Get your financing in writing. A lender looks at the property tax and heating costs as well as the price.
- See it in person. The listing has a virtual tour, but photos do not show noise, light at different hours or the state of the street and the homes beside it.
Our first-time home buyer guide and our page for buyers walk through each step. This is general information, not legal advice. Confirm the details with a lawyer.
